At 9pm on Friday, April 13th, President Trump addressed the nation to announce and explain a coordinated series of missile attacks against Syrian chemical weapons facilities. This was in response to Syrian President Bashir Al Assad's use of chemical weapons against his own people- innocent civilians in rebel held areas of Damascus earlier in the week. Joining the U.S. in striking against Syrian targets were our allies Britain and France. Allies of the Syrian Government- Russia and Iran were not involved, but were called out by President Trump for having made Syria's use of chemical weapon's possible.
Do you support this military action? What role do you think the U.S. should play in the ongoing Syrian Civil War that is now in its 7th year?
